(b) Matilda records the distances that 80 different cars can travel with a full tank of fuel.
The table shows this information.
Distance (dkm) 250 1 d G 300 300 1 d G 400 400 1 d G 420 420 1 d G 450 450 1 d G 500
Frequency 7 13 19 21 20
(i) Write down the class interval that contains the median.
...................1 d G ................... [1]
(ii) Calculate an estimate of the mean.
........................................... km [4]
(iii) A histogram is drawn to show the information in the table.
The height of the bar for the interval 250 1 d G 300 is 2.8 cm.
Calculate the height of the bar for each of the following intervals.
300 1 d G 400 ........................................... cm
400 1 d G 420 ........................................... cm
420 1 d G 450 ............................................ cm [3]
(iv) Two of the 80 cars are chosen at random.
Find the probability that, with a full tank of fuel, one of the cars can travel more than 450 km
